"What do you intend to do? There are guards outside…!"

The plump boy's bravado masked his inner timidity.

Hua Zhen, without a shred of mercy, kicked him in the stomach, causing the boy to curl up in the corner in pain.

But it didn't end there; Hua Zhen relentlessly stomped on the boy, as if a Minotaur had initiated a war stomp.

"At such a time, who would care about you?" Hua Zhen said as he continued to kick, "Do you think they'll see me as a threat? No, they'll just be glad to have fewer mouths to feed!"

"Brother, I was wrong, I truly was! May I kneel and apologize, please stop hitting me. I'll share my food with you, no, take it all. I can even transfer you the money from my mother's Alipay, just stop!"

The chubby boy knelt before Hua Zhen, his head knocking against the tiled floor with a thud, a pitiful sight.

He could tell Hua Zhen was serious.

Despite his disdain for his mother, the boy knew that without her combative spirit, he was no match for an adult.

Moreover, he was not only unfamiliar with the other survivors outside but had also insulted them over food distribution, especially the security guard.

It was obvious whose side the others would take.

Hua Zhen had learned of this from the guard, which is why he had taken action against the boy.

The boy's mouth was filthy, and he deserved the beating, didn't he?

One could imagine the zombies feasting to their heart's content, a sight most pleasing.

Hua Zhen used the tip of his right foot to lift the boy's chin, forcing him to reveal his face, then took out his phone and started recording.

"You say you were wrong, so tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have been sarcastic, I shouldn't have insulted people."

"Is that all? Do you need me to remind you of the vile things you've done?"

"I threw dog feces at your house, smeared it on your doorstep with a stick, crushed it into the carpet, blocked your door lock with super glue after school, and splashed water from the squat toilet onto the clothes you hung on the balcony…"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Hua Zhen's mouth.

Water from the squat toilet…

Alright, alright, so this is how you play it?

Hua Zhen's blood pressure rose, no wonder the clothes had a stronger scent than sewage, it was from the toilet.

You're finished!

But now wasn't the right time; he had to play the good guy in front of the other survivors.

Besides, the chubby boy was somewhat useful, a qualified tool.

Human resources are a resource too.

Just like making the old hen lay its last few eggs before slaughtering it.

This is called the rational use of resources.

"Just that?"

"And… I scooped the toilet water with your iron basin… Brother, I was wrong, please don't post this online, okay?"

"That depends on your behavior."

Hua Zhen scrutinized the boy's eyes, finding no trace of bloodshot or redness.

So he pretended to help the boy up.

"Alright, as long as you know you were wrong and follow my instructions, this video won't see the light of day. Otherwise, once it goes viral, your female classmates might start seeing you in a new light, right?"

"Mhm, I understand, brother. I'll listen to you."

The boy nodded vigorously.

"Alright, you can go now. I need to use the computer here."

The boy didn't dare utter a word, grabbed his phone, unplugged the charging cable, and left.

Now, Hua Zhen was alone in the projection room.

He turned on the computer, and the TMS cinema projection system interface appeared on the desktop, including the movie schedule and showtimes. With a little arrangement of the projection sequence, he could control all the digital players in the cinema.

Hua Zhen raised an eyebrow.

The mall's cinema had seven or eight screening rooms.

If he started movies in each room and opened the doors, not to mention the lower floors, at least the zombies on the third, fourth, and fifth floors would be drawn here.

But attracting the zombies now would undoubtedly mean killing everyone here except himself, which was unnecessary.

Hua Zhen opened a webpage and typed in "unload."

This was the world's largest e-book download site.

It contained scanned copies of virtually all physical books, and the quality was excellent, even on a mobile phone, the clarity was high.

Hua Zhen decided he would do whatever he wanted from now on.

His main focus was to act on a whim.

But knowledge was essential.

How to operate a ship, repair a car, grow crops, use various equipment—all this was knowledge that needed to be stored in his head.

Hua Zhen chose to come here instead of staying at home for two main reasons.

One was storage.

His laptop only had 520GB of space, and with various miscellaneous software, it couldn't hold much.

But the cinema was different.

In the projection room, aside from the server, there were many hard drive cabinets loaded with mechanical hard drives used to store high-definition Blu-ray movies, so the capacity was large, generally around 20TB, and quality controlled.

Moreover, mechanical hard drives had a higher number of read and write cycles, a longer lifespan, and could store data longer than solid-state drives. They could also be easily used on other electronic devices with an adapter.

The second reason was the network.

The mall's internet speed was fast, incomparable to his hotspot or home wifi.

Although an e-book wasn't large, entertainment was also essential. In addition to various books, Hua Zhen planned to download various time-killing single-player games.

Such as "Xming 6," "Era 2077," "Demon Hunter 4," "Stars," "My Love," and so on…

Of course, mechanical hard drives had their drawbacks.

They weren't as smooth for gaming, with long loading times and performance not matching solid-state drives.

But what did that matter?

Hua Zhen was now like Mundo, going to the computer store to grab a few hundred solid-state drives was just a matter of convenience.

So he had to take advantage of the internet while it was still available and quickly get everything he needed onto the hard drives.

All the useful e-books, and fun premium games, download them all!
